Speed Date Local Leaders 2016

Thursday, February 11, 2016, 5:30-7:30pm

St. John’s Episcopal Church, 211 North Monroe St.

Tallahassee, FL

Today evening I attended my first Speed Date Local Leaders organized by the Village Square. I arrived at 5:20 PM and the event itself started few minutes later. Fortunately, there was only one other person on my table (#5). We had about 15 local leaders ranging from city, county, school, media, sheriff, police, and community groups.

They all rotated through our table. Originally we had about 7 minutes to discuss but as we were lagging behind toward the end we had about 5 minute to talk and listen to the leaders. I was able to talk to them about range of issues from arts, schools, safety, civic duties, and traffic.
